- Jericho was told by police and government officials that he had two choices - either apologize right then and there or be arrested and escorted out of the arena in handcuffs. They would have also shut the entire show down and sent fans home.

- Jericho has been pulled from the entire tour and has been suspended for 30 days. He will not be at the No Way Out PPV and the planned match with Randy Orton is off. They started the angle on RAW Monday and had planned to do a match between the two at the pay-per-view.

- This is something Jericho did completely on his own. WWE had absolutely no knowledge of this and it wasn't part of the script. A fan actually brought the flag and gave it to CM Punk as he was entering the ring.

- James sent this in: As a prosecutor here in the US, I have actually lectured to visiting Brazilian prosecutors when they came to Central Florida for international law enforcement training. We talked about the laws involving national flags of both our countries, and it is against the national law to desecrate the flag in Brazil (unlike the US where such a law would be unconstitutional). It is a misdemeanor level offense in Brazil.

- Brazil is completely different than the U.S, Canada, UK, etc. with their rules and laws, etc. It's against the law (entertainment or not) to desecrate their flag and Jericho did just that.
